Description

On or near October 27, 2023, I was contacted by Susann993 through the website “Adult Friend Finders”. The conversation was quickly moved to “Whatsapp” on my phone. Susann993 and I engaged in idle chit chat for the first few messages where I learned she was in immigrant from China with permanent residence status. I also learned that her parents lived near Las Vegas. Her telephone number currently is {213) 519-6165. According to Whatsapp. During one conversation Susan(her real name?)mentioned she had made a great deal of money in some bitcoin-like enterprise. I asked about it. At that point she began teaching me how the investment was supposed to work with a goal of getting me signed up. The apps she steered me to were readily available in the app store for Apple. Over the next few calls, we were trying to set up my account, but I kept running into difficulties. The goal was that I would eventually use $500 from my IRA to make an investment in this scheme. Now she is patiently waiting for me to get my account set up and my money from the retirement fund.
